Dear Jan - I never thought you put much store in Nobel Prizes anyway. Don't we all have the means to wipe each other out? Why make Israel the enemy; why make it innocent? Whatever the heck Grass says, whoever's right or wrong, his last lines are right on, "It's time to demand free and permanent control of BOTH Israel's nuclear arsenal AND Iran's nuclear facilities enforced with international supervision." love, Kathy

it was ment as irony because i knew they would be gunning for him...and i agree with your last two lines that Israel¨s nuclear arms should be open for control as well
